Alright, so I know I've given a lot of running tips, but this is an official "tip" so get ready!!!
The lesson today has to do with the Conservation of Energy as we run. We all have a tendency to tighten up as we run. There's something wrong with that. As we do that our muscles tighten. Muscles that we don't really need to be working begin to work and energy is wasted.
The trick is to recognize it when it happens and to know where to look. If we can know where to look and recognize it then we can conserve energy thus running faster, longer and beating everyone in the world! Okay, let's proceed.
The biggest problem areas in my opinion are the hands, shoulders and face. As you run take time periodically to examine those three areas. Don't clench your hands into fists, relax. Don't tighten your shoulders up, relax. Don't scrunch your face, relax. I know that's easier said then done, but it's possible and more than that it works.
Have a good day and Run Fearless!
